Title: Financial Report
Post by: vinzv on 2022/06/07, 16:49:14
We started collecting donations via OpenCollective in April 2021 (https://siduction.org/2021/04/we-want-what-is-dearest-to-you/), achieved sponsorships and therefore reduced infrastructure costs to a bare minimum. The following figures are available publicly here (https://opencollective.com/siduction-eu#category-BUDGET) and here (https://opencollective.com/siduction-us#category-BUDGET). And while the wording "financial report" is quite an exaggeration, we still want to give you an overview about how the project is funded in 2022 and what we're using donations for.

Income & backers in EUR
= 2.757,31€

Income & backers in USD
= 507,43$

Income & backers total

Expenses

Plans & Conclusion
First and foremost, we sincerely want to thank everyone giving support to the project financially! Every single Euro (or Dollar) is really appreciated and helps keeping the lights on, so to say.

Of course, the funds are not there to gather dust. We're currently planning to start visiting fairs and community meetings again. Dates and calls for participation start flying in, so marketing and booth material surely will eat up quite a few bucks. To gain more funds we recently put up a merchandising shop (https://siduction.org/siduction-shop/) which already brings in a bit of money as well. Yet the calculations are not done there for now.

Furthermore another release is in the works and due for some time during summer. If you want to give a hand and help out making it happen, you're welcome to ping us on IRC or have a peek at Github (https://github.com/siduction/release-orga/issues).

Cheers!

Cool, just a tiny feedback maybe create a mascotte (maybe asking to https://opensourcedesign.net/) can be a way to sell more merchandise because I would like to buy something but only the logo is not appealing to me so much.
